Structure Degradation Induced by Wetting and Drying Cycles for the Hilly Granitic Soils in Collapsing Gully Erosion Areas

Structure Degradation Induced by Wetting and Drying Cycles for the Hilly Granitic Soils in Collapsing Gully Erosion Areas

The hydrological and mechanical properties of granitic residual soils can be significantly altered by periodical wetting and drying (W-D) cycles. The soil structure degradation induced by W-D cycles can lead to soil mass failure and collapsing gully erosion in granitic hilly slopes in south China. H...
